Meanwhile, Ryan explained how he set about watching YouTube tutorials to teach himself how he could create a bionic arm for his son.

In just a year, he worked with a 3D printer at Bangor University to create his first prototype and shortly after fitted his son with the arm. Ryan is now appealing for £150,000 on his crowdfunding page to launch the bionic arm on the market.
